Bass instrument - make it play a kick drum on any note

I've got a bass instrument in Operator that i've been tinkering with. I'd like to set it up so that every time a note plays it also triggers a kick drum, with the kick drum being at the same constant note (ie always sounding the same) regardless of which note is played in the bass line.

Is there a way to set this up so that it's all in the same track? eg the kick drum is added onto the 'chain' of instruments/effects within that track? So it's like when a note comes into that track it plays the tuned bass note AND the kick drum sample?

thanks

You can add a chain in your Instrument Rack, and put whatever kick you need. To keep the same note not whatever pitch you're sending it there's several methods that depends on the synth/sampler your using for your kick... and without knowing I'm too lazy to sum all the possibilities, sorry :oops:

You could also program you Kick into one of Operator's oscillator, setting it to Fixed mode. You'd need to set the oscillators routing to the "parallel" algorithm.
